Upgrading the Debian 8 Template
Please note that if you installed packages from one of the testing repositories you must make sure that the repository is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r4.list before attempting the upgrade.
Otherwise, your upgrade will break.
Summary: Upgrading a Debian 8 Template to Debian 9
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone debian-8 debian-9
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a debian-9 gnome-terminal
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r4.list
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo apt-get autoremove
Detailed: Upgrading the Standard Debian 8 Template to Debian 9
These instructions will show you how to upgrade the standard Debian 8 TemplateVM to Debian 9. The same general procedure may be used to upgrade any template based on the standard Debian 8 template.
-
Ensure the existing template is not running.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown debian-8 -
Clone the existing template and start a terminal in the new template.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone debian-8 debian-9 [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a debian-9 gnome-terminal -
Update your apt repositories to use stretch instead of jessie (This can be done manually with a text editor, but sed can be used to automatically update the files.)
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list [user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r4.list -
Update the package lists and upgrade to Debian 9. During the process, it will likely prompt to overwrite two files, qubes-r4.list and pulse/client.conf. qubes-r4.list can be overwritten, while pulse/client.conf need to left as the currently installed version.
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y -
Remove unnecessary packages that were previously installed
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo apt-get autoremove -
Shutdown the new TemplateVM via dom0 command line or Qubes VM Manager;
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown debian-9 -
(Recommended) Switch everything that was set to the old template to the new template.
-
(Optional) Remove the old default template.
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo yum remove qubes-template-debian-8
Additional Information
Debian Stretch packages were first made available in the Qubes R3.1 repositories.
If sound is not working, you may need to enable the Qubes testing repository to get the testing version of qubes-gui-agent. This can be done by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r4.list file and uncommenting the Qubes Updates Candidates repo.
User-initiated updates/upgrades may not run when a templateVM first starts.
This is due to a new Debian config setting that attempts to update automatically; it should be disabled with:
sudo systemctl disable apt-daily.{service,timer}.
